This “kids eat free” list could be handy to have for future reference on nights when cooking just isn’t an option.

I asked restaurant owners and patrons about restaurants that offered family freebies. The list below is the response to that question.

If your favorite family restaurant is not listed, it could be that it simply didn’t send in the information. Call directly to find out if it’s doing any deals for the little ones.

The fine print: These are dine-in deals only. Offers can change without notice. Most require a qualifying adult entree purchase to receive the free pint-size meal or multiple meals.

• Atlanta Bread Company, Grand Chute: On Tuesdays after 4 p.m., buy one adult meal and get one free kid’s meal. Children must be age 12 or younger. The deal is good year-round.

• Cranky Pat’s Pizzeria, Neenah: Get one free kid’s meal with a purchase of an adult entree anytime on Wednesdays. The deal is good year-round.

• Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Darboy: A child age 12 or younger can eat free on Sundays with purchase of an adult meal. The deal is good year-round.

• Ground Round, Neenah: Kids age 10 and younger eat free from 11 a.m. to close on Sundays. Buy one regular priced adult entree and get one or two free kid’s meals including a beverage. Kid’s menu has calorie counts as part of Kids Live Well Program.

• Landreman’s Family Restaurant, Kaukauna: Kids age 8 and younger eat free any time of day Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Requires the purchase of one adult meal for one or two free children’s meals. Offers healthy sides with kid’s meals.

UPDATED • The Melting Pot, Appleton: Free kid’s fondue meal with the purchase of an adult entree. Offer is good every day through June 15. After that date, it moves to Sundays only. For children age 12 and younger.

• Monarch Gardens, Grand Chute: For each adult meal purchased, one child age 10 or younger gets a free meal on Friday nights. Children have a choice of four entrees.

• Perkins Restaurant & Bakery, all locations: From 4 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays, get one free kid’s meal for every adult meal purchased. Good year-round for kids age 12 and younger.

• Pizza Ranch, Darboy: Every Tuesday starting at 4 p.m., get a free child’s dinner for every adult dinner purchased. For ages 10 and younger. The offer runs year-round.
